Wandering through Prospect Cemetery

Couldn't be further from home

Reading the headstones like poetry

Nobody wants to die unknown

Never got to meet my grandfather

Nobody told me where he lays

It's a trip how someone you never knew

Can be buried in your DNA

I just want to live

Like someone before my time is counting on me, oh

And walk beneath the wings

Like someone from another life is looking out for me, oh

If I told you that I sat with angels

Would you listen or laugh at me?

It's the only reason I give a damn

And wrestle with this apathy

It's a fight against a slight existence

When you're trying to make sense of time

'Cause forever is a lonely moment

But I see forever in my children's eyes

I just want to live

Like someone before my time is counting on me, oh

And walk beneath the wings

Like someone from another life is looking out for me, oh

Looking out for me, oh

Looking out for me, ah

Looking out for me, oh

Looking out for me, ah

I just want to live

Like someone before my time is counting on me, oh

And walk beneath the wings

Like someone from another life is looking out for me, oh

Oh, I just want to live

Like someone before my time is counting on me, oh

And walk beneath the wings

Like someone from another life is looking out for me, looking out for me

Wandering through Prospect Cemetery

Trying to find where I belong

Kicking the dust, realizing

That nobody wants to live alone
